Cassandra Chase is a young, brilliant, but struggling journalist with a small YouTube channel (Follow Cassandra's youtube.com/@CassandraChase page
here) that barely gets any views. She gets her big break when the senior editor of The Daily Herald asks her to "put a spin" on a seemingly banal story about mysterious electrical power surges downtown. Cassandra traces these surges to two launderettes across town, their constant hum masking something far stranger than laundry. Coincidence? Cassandra thinks not. She hurries to the second launderette, where strange electrical readings and an eerie green-yellow glow have already woken the neighborhood.
At the launderette, Cassandra stumbles into a groundbreaking discovery: she becomes the first human to witness the tiny Zorgon aliens shortly after their arrival on Earth.. Alarmed that a human has seen them, the Zorgons deploy their advanced facial recognition scanning technology. Using their own recordings captured at the launderette, they identify Cassandra by cross-referencing her face with her online profile—a public digital footprint tied to her work as a journalist and YouTuber.They scour the internet and quickly track down her location. Intent on keeping their existence and invasion plans secret, the Zorgons dispatch a team to eliminate her.
Meanwhile, the Super Squad have been vigilantly monitoring the Zorgons’ activities on Earth. When they detect the Zorgons’ sudden focus on Cassandra, they recognize the imminent danger she faces and go to protect her. Arriving at her location, the Super Squad engages the Zorgons in a wild chase through washing machines that act as portals arriving at various diverse locations around the world. Cassandra slips away as the Super Squad keeps the aliens occupied. During the chaotic chase, bystanders capture the spectacle on their mobile phones—footage of the Super Squad and Zorgons weaving through washing machines. This bizarre footage quickly goes viral, leading the public to dub the Super Squad the “Laundry Monsters” due to the viral mobile footage of their chases with the Zorgons through washing machines.
Initially driven by the prospect of fame, Cassandra sees an opportunity to leverage the viral fame of the “Laundry Monsters.” She collaborates with the Super Squad to orchestrate a live television interview on 7 News, aiming to reveal the existence of the aliens and warn the public about the Zorgon threat. With the public already fascinated by the “Laundry Monsters,” the interview generates massive anticipation. However, after it airs, the Zorgons’ allies manipulate the narrative, dismissing it as a hoax. The Daily Herald and other mainstream media outlets refuse to publish her work, abruptly severing ties with her. Undeterred, Cassandra pivots to YouTube and uncensored platforms, transforming into a rebel journalist resolute in her mission to uncover and share the truth.
Now fully partnered with the Super Squad, together, they soon uncover that Charles Langley, a prominent business personality with huge political power, is seemingly under the control of GlocH, the Zorgon Commander masterminding the conquest of Earth. This discovery raises the stakes, cementing Cassandra’s role as a key player in the battle against the escalating alien threat. United in purpose, Cassandra and the Super Squad commit to exposing the truth and defeating GlocH before it’s too late.
